About
=====
This is pro-archman, the ProteanOS Archive Manager.
pro-archman manages packages in an archive laid out as explained in this
specification:
http://www.proteanos.com/dev/archive/layout/
The ProteanOS Archive Manager can:
* Include new packages into an archive;
* Scan an "incoming" directory for new packages;
* Remove packages from an archive suite;
* Copy packages from one archive suite to another;
* Remove an archive suite;
* Efficiently generate feed index files that package managers can use
to find packages in the archive; and
* Remove old package files after a delay, allowing package managers to
find packages listed in cached feed index files.

NEWS for Version 1.4.0
======================
Changes in this release:
* A new "Manifests" file is generated to list architectures,
platforms, and sections in a suite.
* The "include" command no longer prints a list of included files.
This was a minor bug introduced in version 1.1.0.
* "Packages" index files are now compressed with gzip if a new
"conf_gzip" configuration variable (default: true) is set.
